Friends recommended we return now that this place is under new ownership. We weren't disappointed. Friendly welcome from all the staff didn't go unnoticed. Sunday roasts are amazing. Huge portions with lovely slabs of meat, cooked to perfection. We also spied great looking fish & chips, plus burger and chips plates passing our table; mentally noted for our next trip.... More

Popped in here for a quick lunch on Saturday. Despite the smell of bleach when we walked in the door (to be fair we were early - it was only just 12 so cleaning obviously just completed) - a great little pub. Lunch was really good - sausage and mash and a burger and chips (really good home made fat... More

I firstly visited this pub with a friend for lunch and was very pleasantly surprised as there was no website currently sp I didn't know what to expect. We both had a panini and thick cut homemade chips, which were gorgeous and very reasonably priced! Second time I visited after a long walk with my dog, who was made to... More

We walked from Royston along public footpath and found ourselves at the Fox and Duck. It was a lovely sunny day and the pub was busy. We hadn't booked a table but we were greeted and shown one straight away. Service was excellent and food was delicious. Highly recommend.

Stumbling over a place which is gracious, courteous, unflusterred, cracking people ( not over the top ) and food which is absolutely on the money and... More

This village on the green pub is a wonderful place for a visit. Great beers with 2 guest ales available. The new landlords have made their mark and introduced good traditional English food on the menu. There is also a mixture of excellent wine and delicatessen. We were here on Easter Sunday and the place was full of locals and... More

Had good experiences here in the past, great place if you are a walker. Beer very good, Cleanliness very good. Dog friendly, nice fire. We went for lunch and there was confusion between the sandwiches we ordered and what we were presented with. Also liver pate was ordered which appeared very runny, my daughter ate some of it, but quickly... More

This place has turned into a bit of a dive over the years but at last, we are lucky enough to have the right people running this dear old pub. We popped in there Saturday afternoon and we were a bit worried that we may have "missed the boat" at 2:20pm, but no we were made welcome and the restaurant... More
